Now that Glean Technologies, the corporate AI platform, has opened its first office in India, in Bengaluru, it plans to increase its personnel from 150 to 450 by next year.
The company, headquartered in Palo Alto, California, will make the Bengaluru office the heart of operations for India, housing key critical departments such as finance, sales, research and development (R&D), and business operations.
Glean Technologies’ plans to triple its personnel by 2025 demonstrate the company’s annual growth. The company is establishing itself as a day zero employer at the country’s top five Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), having already engaged 12 students from them.
The new office, which spans 26,000 square feet in the heart of Bengaluru, includes a dedicated canteen, a game room, and collaborative areas. It is intended to support the company’s expanding personnel in the next years while also creating an environment conducive to innovation and growth.
The Bengaluru innovation facility will play an important role in allowing Glean’s customers to deploy GenAI assistants and applications at scale across the globe. It will aid Indian businesses by leveraging superior AI technologies. Garvit Juniwal (R&D – site lead, product lead), Vivek S (R&D – AI lead), and Tapas Satapathy (head of people) attended the facility’s inauguration, as did Glean Technologies’ partners, clients, and staff.
Arvind Jain, founder and CEO of Glean Technologies, feels that the “Bengaluru office would allow us to closely interact with Indian firms, enabling them harness the full potential of their knowledge using our cutting-edge AI platform. Furthermore, this office will function as a vital centre for our global operations, directing a substantial amount of our overseas initiatives. In fact, it will be our largest investment outside the United States.”
Currently valued at over $2.2 billion, the firm has raised more than $350 million from top investors such as General Catalyst, Kleiner Perkins, Sequoia Capital, Lightspeed, and others. Glean’s annual recurring revenue (ARR) is increasing at an amazing rate of 300 percent year on year.
